IMPROVED LINE-HOLDER.

The Schedule xefenedto in these Letters Patent and making part o'f the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CAnLosS. HU'roHnvs, of Canton, county of Hartford, and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Liue- Holders for work-rooms and other desirable places; and, to enable others skilled in the art to make and use -the same, I will proceed to describe, vby referring to the drawings, in which the same letters indicate like parts in each of the figures.

The nature of this invention will be understood from the speoiiicatiou and drawings', the object of which is to furnish quick and ready means, at various points in a Work-room aud other places, for securing and .extending a line from one point'to another, as desirable, for

holding clothes, and for otherdesirable purposes.

In the accompanying drawings'- Figure 1 is a face view of `this invention.

Figure 2 is au edge view of the same.

a is a vibrating holder, the circular or under edge of which is corrugated, and is eccentric or circular with the fulorum or screw by which 4it is secured, or

- upon which it vibrates.

bis a round or eccentric pad, which may be turned on its axis, to bring its surface nearer to or further from thecorrugated surface of the holder a.

c is a guide-plate, having openings, d, through which the line d lnay be. drawn, from between the holder a 'and eccentric-b, to any other desired point.'

These vibrating holders a, round or eccentric pads b, and plates c, are, or may be secured, either to the plate e, or to the jamb or casing of a door or window, 85e., represented by the plate e.

The style and proportion ot the parts which make up this invention are susceptible of changes which will render them more highly ornainental, in addition to their great utility for work-rooms and other desirable places.

I believe I have thus shown the nature, construction, and advantage of this invention, so as to enable others skilled in the art to make and usethe'same therefrom.

What 1 claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the holder a with the pad b and plate c, having openings, d, for a line-holder, substantially as shown and described.
